Warriors Premiership Rugby Cup fixtures announced

Warriors will launch their Premiership Rugby Cup campaign with successive home matches against Bristol Bears and Gloucester Rugby.

Warriors will sit out the first round of matches when the competition, which was cancelled last season owing to COVID-19, returns on the weekend of November 12-13.

Bristol will then be the visitors to Sixways for Warriors’ opening match on Saturday November 20 (kick-off 3.00pm) with Gloucester following for a midweek Christmas derby on Wednesday December 29 (kick-off 7.45pm).

Warriors will complete their group programme with successive away matches against Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park on the weekend of March 18 to 20 and Bath Rugby at The Rec on the weekend of March 29-30.

The semi-finals are scheduled for April 26 or 27 with the final to be played on May 17 or 18.

With the confirmation of the Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup group fixtures today, Warriors will have one fewer guaranteed home match than anticipated.

With the exciting new signings made we would expect to make the knockout stages of at least one of those competitions, in which case that fixture would be included as part of Season Ticket Holder packages.

In the event of Warriors not reaching the knockout stages of either competition Season Ticket Holders will be entitled to various reimbursement options.
